New submission from Matt Bogosian:
>From (e.g)
>https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/distutils/command/check.py#L145:
{{{
try:
parser.parse(data, document)
except AttributeError as e: # <- this could happen anywhere inside
parser.parse
reporter.messages.append(
(-1, 'Could not finish the parsing: %s.' % e, '', {}))
}}}
Without a stack trace, diagnosing problems like #23063 becomes unnecessarily
difficult. See also:
* https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/bugs/270/
* https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/bugs/302/
I'd offer a patch, but I'm not sure what is meant to be signaled by the
`AttributeError`. (Could `parser.parse` not exist? Is it something else?)
